This was installed at a previous qth i will be the first or millionth remember i m from fl to affirm that the antenna is the determining factor for success when it comes to one s station set up.
G5rv jr attic.
You can see it s clear of metal objects and the ladder line goes off to the right at a 90 degree angle.
Antenna mounted as high as practical.
Designed as 3 2 wavelength antennas for 14 mhz they provide reasonable performance on many other bands.
Marc n4ufp and i get together to talk about build and test the zs6bkw antenna.
Some were not amused others shook their heads and a few actually agreed with him.
They cover all bands from 40 10 meters with a wide range antenna tuner.
Quasi inverted v 145 degrees at 24 feet a feed line of 80 ft and the matching segment hanging freely only 40m 20m 17m and 10m are usable 17m with swr of 7 6 requires an external tuner.
Swr of 15m is 22 12m is 25 and 6m is also 25.
My worry is how can i satisfy my own and my xyl wife s concerns about rf in our house especially in the bedrooms immediately below the attic.
Half size ham radio antenna.
These are multi band center fed dipole antenna capable of 1 500 watts.
Mac af4ps fp 51 note.
The better your antenna the more success you will have making contacts.
The infamous attic dipole.
I wanted an invisible antenna so i m starting with an attic mounted g5rv antenna.
Mfj 1778m g5rv junior wire antenna multi band center fed dipole antennas.
G5rv best dang antenna i ve ever used he bragged.
The junior version from mfj that covers 40 meters through 10 meters on the ham bands.
Not ideal but i m avoiding.
It was invented by louis varney.
With the peak of my g5rv jr.
This project gives instruction on how to build my version of the g5rv wire antenna that is used on the 10 40 meter ham radio bands 28mhz to 7mhz.
The history and basic theory of this antenna dates back to 1946.
